Default RE: Servo set-up for correct geometry

Mike,

I saw the post at the PB site. I understand the variance between the two geometries will be slight but I hate having to use mixing or electronics to make up for differences in mechanics when there is a way to match the physical set-up instead.

I added a bay just forward of the upper elevator bay. Took maybe 30 minutes to mark, cut, cut the ply support, route the wire and glue it in. Now my linkages are the same on both sides and the distance from pivot plane to pivot plane is equal at both the servo and the surface (the rod is parallel to the stab). For me, it was a worthwhile mod as i love how little futzing it took to to get my Fusion's elevators matched with the same set up. Every set-up requires some end-point and subtrim adjustment, I just hate using that to make up for a mechanical difference. I'll post some pics later today.

Like I said, I have a OMP 79" Yak with the stock set-up and it works. I just like the Fusion style set-up better and applied it to the Edge
